Visita Iglesia

We had Visita Iglesia last Maundy Thursday. The last time we did this was three years ago, and we didn’t even have the prayer booklet with us which we didn’t know we were supposed to read for every station of the cross inside the churches. What we did then was to just pray inside every church that we visited. This time, we bought the booklet, although we weren’t able to go to seven churches — the intention was to pray at two stations for each church, but we only got to visit five.

Our next stop was the San Agustin Church. The stations of the cross were set up outside so the church was not so crowded.

Last stop was the Malate Church. We were supposed to visit two more churches, but it was already getting late and we were starving. We didn’t want to eat in the nearby restaurants — although my son was already eyeing one — so we decided to make this our last stop, and then we went home.

It was a different kind of experience, and we plan to do it again next year, and hopefully we will be able to visit seven churches.
